What team has a 5th corner that can keep Eli manning from throwing a TD in that situation?

He was the 4th corner last year, and he was stepping in as the 3rd corner, because Goldson destroyed Brown. A 3rd (or even 4th) corner should be able to cover a 3rd WR (Manningham was playing behind Nicks and Cruz).

And it isnt like he got beat 1 on 1 and Manningham and Eli made a really good play. Brock gave him a good 3 yard cushion all the way into the endzone, and manningham just cut right at the goaline and brock wasn't even close to being in position. I have never liked his cover abilities.

Nobody off waivers is going to be any more reliable in that situation.

I was field level at the game against the Broncos and focused on Brock quite a bit, he will get abused by good QBs in coverage but he was making a ton of plays on specials teams and that may be deemed more important for a 5th CB at this point.

But overall the game was treated like practice... it was hard to find a Niner starter paying attention on the sideline and even the field at times. Looked like the team was just trying to get a couple reps in and then get out of the stadium with limited injuries.

good point, Brock is having a bad preseason but was pretty solid last year when given the opportunity.

The niners are sitting pretty nifty with runningbacks and QB's. Detroit is desperate and maybe we can trade LMJ who hasn't blown us away for a first or swap firsts and a second. If we did we could keep Dixon and have Jewel Hampton later if needed. I am pretty sure some QB starters are going down just because I think defenses are better then most OLs. I do think our qbs are on a par with most backups so should get some value.

After reading the t**ts about what Roman and Baalke said about Dixon its pretty obvious he won the roster spot over Cartwright which im fine with. Dixon is a younger and bigger Cartwright anyway.
